Why choose Rome East

In reality, the opposite often happens.

Rome East is one of the city’s most strategic areas because it allows you to:

avoid the ZTL;
avoid traffic in the historic center;
easily reach the main roads;
find parking more easily;
stay in modern hotels at more competitive prices.

For those arriving by car, it is a particularly advantageous solution.

Reaching the center with Metro C

In recent years, Metro C has become one of the most important connections between Rome East and the rest of the city.

It is particularly useful for those staying in the eastern areas of the Capital and wanting to avoid traffic.

Among the main advantages:

high frequency;
predictable travel times;
no parking problems;
connections with other metro lines.

Once the interchange with the metro network has been made, it is possible to quickly reach most of the main tourist attractions.

Getting around by bus

The bus network connects practically every district of Rome.

Many lines depart from the Rome East areas and allow you to reach:

train stations;
metro stops;
universities;
business districts;
historic center.

The bus is a good solution especially when the final destination is not directly served by the metro.

Taxi and NCC

For those who want maximum comfort, taxis and NCC services are a valid alternative.

They are particularly suitable for:

families with children;
groups;
travelers with lots of luggage;
evening transfers;
business appointments.

Although they cost more than public transport, they allow a direct journey without changes.

This solution allows you to:

leave the car at the hotel;
avoid traffic;
reduce stress;
easily reach the center;
simplify travel.

For many international tourists, it is one of the most appreciated options.
